Topaz enhancements
Hi all!
I just got a new floppy drive, and I've been working on Rod Jackson's
Topaz library. I've added the following enhancements:
* Two libraries for creating binary topaz files(the second one is better,
but the files are bigger). File format 0 is the basic format. Format 1
is enhanced:
+ Ability to store more than 1 thread in a single file
+ Strings longer than 255 chars
+ More codes allowed. Up to 4 billion instructions
* A program to load those files
* An EAD -- Error Auto-Detector. Still in beta.
* A special menu that's activated by pushing the Menu key(only on Windows
keyboards)
* VMS files -- Virtual Machine Status. All parts of the current Topaz
session are saved. You can load a VMS file while in a Topaz program or
from LOADVMS.EX
* 60+ Topaz functions
If you're interested in this, send me your snail-mail address to
Uglyfish87 at hotmail.com(I still can't upload to the internet).
You'll receive a .zip file containing TOPAZ.E(a modified version of Topaz),
TOPAZ2.E, and lots of examples and some utility programs including:
* Programs to load TIL(Topaz Instruction List) files and VMS files
* An example of delaying threads without tying up others
* TKEY.EX, which uses the improved multitasking version of waiting for
keys
* CLOCK.EX, which generates CLOCK.TPZ: A simple script that prints the
time in the upper-right corner of the screen
* And maybe some other stuff I forgot about
P.S. By the way, I named it ETSE(Enhanced Topaz Scripting Engine) a while
ago, but I seem to have stopped using that name
